HANDLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 265,913, dated October10, 1882.

Application filed Augustflil, 1880. Renewed May 26,1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, QHARLES S. BARNARD, ofthecity, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and ImprovedDrawer- 5 Handle, of which the following is a specifica= tion.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improveddrawer-handle which is simple in construction and is durable and rcheap.

The invention consists of a spun or sheet metal cap for receiving theends of the ring or pull, into which cap a stem or pin is placed, and issecured therein by'pouring molten metal into the cap.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a horizontal sectional view ofmy improved drawer-handle, and Fig. 2 is a detail elevation of the stemof the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. p

Acap,(),is stamped orspunoutofsheetmetal and forms the body of thehandle. A longitudinally-slotted plate, I), provided with shoulders E Enear the middle of the outer edges,

and provided with an internally-threaded collar, I to receive the screwG, forms the stem of the ring-handle. The slotted plate or stem D ispassed through the aperture in the face- 0 plate H of the handle, whichaperture is of such a size that the lower end of the plate up to theshoulders E E can pass thronghit; but the shoulders will rest upon thisplate H. The lower end of the plate or stem Dis then placed 5 in the cap0, the plate H resting upon the edge or rim of the cap, upon whichmolten metal'J is poured through the aperture in the plate H into thecap 0 until the same is filled, whereby the cap 0 and the plates D and H40 are united. The plate H can rotate in the stem, but cannot be drawnout on account of the shoulders E. The stem is passed into an aperture,K, in the piece of furniture, and is secured by means of a washer-plate,L, and the screw G. Two holes are bored into the cap 0 and the fillingmetal in opposite sides to receive the gudgeons B B of the ring A, whichis held to the cap by the spring of the metal of the ring A. Threadedpins or screws may be attached to the cap 0, in the manner de- 0scribed, in place of the slotted plate D. Any other kind of pull may beattached to the cap 0.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- 1. In drawer-handles, the combination, with asheet-metal cap, of the filling; metalJ in this cap, the ring A, and thestem D, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purepose set forth.
